Chapter 3813 The Female Diviners' Decisions
While Matilda and the maids prepared travel supplies for Shad, Luvia and Bella quickly explained the current situation. As for Tifa, being the highest-ranking witch apprentice of this generation, she naturally went out with Galina.

The shattering of thirteen seals gradually shifted the situation on the island from one where the Ring Mages held the upper hand to one where the forces were evenly matched, and now the situation is showing signs of becoming uncontrollable. Fortunately, at least the candidates have gradually reached the summit, so it cannot be said that the situation has completely deteriorated.

Luvia continued:
"When you arrived on the ship, the third impact of fate had already occurred. Those pseudo-ring beasts and monsters with doomsday destinies will likely become even stronger. But that's not the key point. When Bella and I used the [Stadium of Fate] to divine the night before, we determined that the 'pre-doomsday' twilight scenery on the island will probably increase further in the short term."

The more the forces of the apocalypse corrupt the real world, the stronger those beings possessing Mr. Snake's power become. It's a snowballing, dire situation; the Chosen One ritual cannot be delayed.

After introducing all of that, the last and most important thing is:
"Adele Isabella encountered Ellie, Leona, and Mia in the mountains before midnight. Ellie has now reached the level of a Ring Sorcerer, and has reached the middle level, and can turn arcs into apples. But that's all she knows. What Ellie went through in the first half of the night is probably only known to Mia."

As she spoke, Luvia looked at Shad with embarrassment, since Shad had asked them to take good care of the cat, but the cat had ultimately run off with Ellie.

However, Shad didn't care about this:

"Ellie should be able to protect Mia, and since she's so small, even if she accidentally wanders into the battlefield, no one will deliberately target her. Turning the curved shape into an apple... Dorothy demonstrated that ability to conjure apples out of thin air before. So, does Ellie now possess destiny?"

As Shad asked, he let Matilda slip a few Star Dewdrops into his sleeve. Luvia shook her head.

"I'm not sure, but it's highly likely."

“Alright, I’ll head to the summit now. Ms. White will do her best to maintain the final seal until the first candidate finds Shangquan and uses his power to condense the Ring of Destiny.”

After I reunite with Stella and Ellie, Act VII will likely conclude soon. At that time, Mr. Snake will be completely freed from his seal, and I will find an opportunity to exchange for the [Miracle] destiny at the temple. Then, tonight's final battle will begin.

As Shad spoke, he took the two bullets, one gold and one black, from Matilda. The gold bullet was destined for good fortune, while the black one was destined for destruction.

Bella then said:

“When we were discussing the plan, we were worried that if Mr. Snake broke free of the seal, Mount Fatumunster would immediately collapse. But it’s alright now. After you went to the tavern, the church sent a message that the artifact that held the mountain together has been delivered to the Church of the Sun and Earth in Time Wheel City. You don’t need to worry about this.”

Shad nodded again:

"I'll ask the chosen ones of the earth for help then. Is the portal still working?"

"The impact of fate has affected spacetime. The girls who maintain the portal say that it's temporarily unstable over there and we need to wait at least ten minutes."

Agelina immediately replied, having just run from the portal cabin. With Lacey not on the ship, the little princess was obediently doing what she could. Although she occasionally thought about her two friends' current situation, she knew she didn't yet possess their power.

"Since the portal is temporarily unstable, I'll just throw the crystal shoe home and then set off from Sylvia's tower."

"Shad said."

"I'll wait for you at the witch's tower, and then we'll go to the summit together."

Winnie explained that she could use Ms. White's power to move to a fixed point, but this ability was only available to people of her special race.

Xia De nodded without refusing, his eyes scanning the banquet hall to confirm the number of girls still on the ship:
"Luvia, please be careful. As for what to do with the Radiant Messenger and the girls who stay behind, that's up to you and Bella."

Purple Eyes nodded gently:
"I understand. Then go ahead and we'll wait for your good news."

Shad then reached out and hugged both Luvia and Bella, before looking at Miss Elizabeth. The boat girl smiled and shook her head.

"You don't need to now, but you owe me a hug. Remember to give it to me when you come back."

"No problem, oh, and this too."

Shad then remembered to take out the [Destruction] arc he had just obtained from Mr. Snake's clone and handed it to Bella, who was closest to him. He didn't need it. Then he threw out the crystal shoe and disappeared from the ship. Winnie nodded to Luvia and then turned into a cloud of cold air and left the ship.

Bella then said to Luvia:

"Can you smell it? It's full of Sylvie's perfume~ He definitely doesn't have time to shower, hmph~ I knew Sylvie's promotion was inseparable from him, but I don't know what methods he used."

The Countess of Moon Bay was unaware, but Luvia knew perfectly well. She smiled but didn't reply. Just then, hurried footsteps came from the banquet hall entrance, and Claire strode in.
"Shad is back? Where is he?"

As she spoke, she looked around, as if hoping that Xia De would suddenly jump out from behind one of the girls.

Bella said regretfully:
"You're half a minute too late. Shad and Winnie have already left together and set off for the Peak of Destiny."

Claire's expression at that moment was like that of a cat being rejected by its owner, but she also knew that Shad couldn't stay here for too long; she was just glad he returned safely.

"So what do we do next? Now that Shad has gone to the top of the mountain, we don't have much else to do besides giving orders, right? Are we really going to stay at the dock all night?"

The elves helped Grandpa and the others successfully hold off the monsters at the third line of defense outside the town, and Professor Daniste also helped deal with the trouble in Wheel of Time. Currently, aside from the battle at sea, which hasn't yet been reported by the mermaid girls, all the focus is on Peak of Destiny.

Luvia shook her head:
“Of course we can’t stay here forever. Shad said the snake is plotting to shed its skin. Since that snake wants to gain the power to transcend fate, we should do something too. The [Stadium of Fate] and the [Ouroboros Eye - Right Eye] are both in our hands. Bella, with you and me together, surely we can’t find a suitable way to break this deadlock on the final night of fate?”

The Countess of Moon Bay laughed; the diviners all had their own pride.
“Yes, this is a battle of destiny. As diviners, we can’t let Shad steal the spotlight. But besides the snake shedding its skin, don’t forget about the ‘Falling Moon Rebirth Song.’ We need to know when to use that song.”

She was certain that the piece would be played tonight.

The girl with purple eyes had almost transcended fate, and the Countess of Moon Bay had also embarked on a different path because of the outsiders. Furthermore, Luvia still had the coin Adele had left behind and the precious [Sage Token] that could raise a Ring Mage's level; she was confident that the divination in a little while would yield excellent results.

Thinking of this, Luvia seemed to have caught something inspiration, and at that moment Bella casually handed her the curved object that Shad had left behind:

"Let's get ready and begin."

"No problem, I..."

Just as Luvia was about to say something more, she suddenly noticed that the curved shape of [Destruction] that she was holding was actually glowing.

Bella, of course, also saw the light bursting forth on the curve, while Luvia shook her head:

"It's just a curve, it's nothing."

The girl with purple eyes had already caught that fleeting inspiration:
"Even if the snake completes its molting and truly becomes the one destined for destruction in the Sixth Era, those who possess the three Rings of Fate can still contend with it. I think we should prepare how to bring forth those who possess the three Rings of Fate."

Bella raised an eyebrow:
"This is no small feat; there hasn't been a single person like this yet."

"They will appear. Don't forget the [Guardian] that Ms. White represents, the [Hero] in the hands of the Church, the [Void] on the turtle's shell, and the Ring of Fate of the Ringholders under Mr. Ring. Also, there will probably be more complete rings appearing on the island tonight. Since Ellie has changed, I think the unicorn herd should go to the mountaintop."

Luvia then turned to look at the little princess:
“Agelina, although Shad doesn’t agree with you going to the battlefield, you are the one who truly resonates with the fate of [Redemption]. We will conduct a divination for you alone in a moment; perhaps you are our trump card.”

The little princess winked:

"I'm the trump card? I understand, I'll follow your instructions."

She tried her best not to show any strange expression, thinking to herself that she wasn't necessarily inferior to her two best friends.

"However, before we begin the divination, we need to deal with the problems at sea."

Bella pointed to the sand table again, where countless points of light were rapidly approaching the Kyle-Todd town docks, one of which was incredibly intense.

The combined fleet of the church and the two navies had limited effect on the sea. In order to weaken the enemy's strength, even though he was not completely free after the thirteen seals were broken, Mr. Snake was able to squander his power almost without limit to create pseudo-ring beasts in the sea.

The dragons of Dragon Island and Sylvie's mermaid friends were the main force on the sea battlefield, but it was clear that they had not been able to stop all the monsters active in the sea.

Over countless years, the power that the serpent has buried deep in the sea through various means is gradually awakening. Luvia and her companions are not the only ones noticing the situation on the surface; the Church will likely soon dispatch personnel from the island to provide support at sea.

“Miss Elizabeth, after our divination, I’m afraid this ship will be leaving the dock. Before that, is there any way to teach those monsters a lesson so we can proceed to the mountaintop in peace?”

Luvia asked the boat girl, who gave a gentle smile:

“During the last refit, Sevier repaired many damaged functional modules for this ship, and I think I can show them to you now.”
